As one of only two polytechnic universities in the state, Cal Poly Pomona is known for academic excellence, hands-on learning and affordable tuition fees. Education takes place both within and beyond the classroom, and students tackle real-world challenges, giving them an advantage as career-ready graduates.
In this free 10-week online course, you will learn the fundamentals of computer programming using the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) language in Microsoft Excel. No prior knowledge of programming or engineering is required to succeed in this course. You can self-enroll by clicking on the "Go to Class" button on the right.Upon completion of this course, you will be able to get more out of Excel by writing your own computer programs in the VBA language. Even more importantly, you will understand the logic of programming, enabling you to learn other computer languages rapidly in the future. Students who pass the course will receive a certificate of completion and online badge from Cal Poly Pomona.Software requirements: For PCs, Excel 2007 or later. For Macs, Excel 2011.
